Re: O/T - AirCon (yes, even at this time of the year)

["Alancc" <alan.cc@xxxxxxx>]

I've done similar with my air con, its a proper ducted system rather than
the portable split one but the principle is the same. The air is drawn in
>from
the bedrooms. I have built a box like a T joint which has a fan in, when I
want to cool the Lounge the fan draws the air from the box pushing it
downstairs, it then circulates back up to the Landing, when the fan is not
running the air resistance from the fan is enough to allow the flow back to
the bedrooms. I also use this as the only source of heating for upstairs
other than the bathrooms, it is very efficient.
